Fred Amata
A judge has ordered veteran nollywood actor-director Fred Amata
to pay his rent arrears He was ordered by a Surulere Magistrates’ Court
in Lagos on wednesday to pay one year rent arrears amounting to
N600,000.
The landlord Pa I. Fadoyebo had earlier dragged Amata to court to
help him regain possession of his house from the actor. Fadoyebo
claimed Amata was owing arrears of rent on the four-bedroom bungalow he
was occupying at No 8, Razaq Balogun St., Surulere, adding that the
rent had accumulated from October 2009 to September 2010.
Judge Magistrate Mukaila Fadeyi ordered Amata who was not present
throughout the court proceedings to pay the arrears within 14 days .
Fadeyi faulted the tenancy agreement signed between both parties,
saying it was not dated while the seven-day quit notice was not served
on Amata. Fadoyebo had on Feb. 7 testified that Amata was a bad tenant
who brought all manners of people into his compound.
